NEW IN PAPERBACK

The Baltimore Sun

The Keep By Jennifer Egan

In this deliciously creepy new novel, two cousins reunite 20 years after a childhood prank gone wrong changed their lives. "Cousin Howie," the formerly uncool, strange and pasty ("he looked like a guy the sun wouldn't touch") cousin, has become a blond, tan and married millionaire with a generous spirit. He invites his cousin Danny (who as an insecure teenager left him hurt and helpless in a cave for three days) to help him renovate an old castle in Germany.
